jewish or christian bible question?

Question

is anything about the trinity or purgatory in the bible?? I couldn't find anything... if not, how did these ideas come about? Did the pope make them?

Answer 1

You couldn't find any!! it is time to go back and read some more pal. The Bible spoke of the trinity, it is there. and as for purgatory, I think it is the most mention place. What and how and why a person might go there, and what a person must do not to go there, also, it describe it in details.

The Trinity is the Father the Son and The Holy Spirit.
Purgatory is another name for Hell.

Answer 2

Jewish: Elohim .... indicates a plurality within the Godhead.

The LORD said to my LORD ... again suggesting there is more than one in the Godhead

The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters
other similar glimpses; but nowhere that clearly spells out the "Trinity".


Christian: Go, making disciples of all nations, baptising them in THE NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

The baptism of Jesus .... Jesus coming up out of the water, the Voice of the Father heard from Heaven, and the Holy Spirit descending in the shape of a dove.


So the concept of the Trinity is clearly taught in the New Testament even if the word "trinity" is not used. The concept of a Tri-une God. One God, Who has revealed that He eternally exists as three "persons"; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.


Purgatory ... not Scriptural. Nearest probably in in one of the apocryphal books -- which can provide Jewish history but not safe for Doctrine.

The popes may have formulated the idea of purgatory (and ways for people to be released from there); but the Trinity was well-established in the New Testament and clearly formulated by the early Church councils before the "Pope" as such existed.

Answer 3

There is nothing about purgatory. It was made up by one of the first popes (I forget which one).

As far as the trinity goes, there are many references to it, although the word "trinity" never appears in the bible.

The clearest scripture that shows the three members of the Godhead is Matt 3:16-17.
It shows the Father, Son and Holy Ghost all appearing at once.

1 John 5:7-9 also explains how the three work together as one God but are still 3 separate beings.

Answer 4

Here are some scripture passages about the Trinity -- the Catholic church just gave the concept a title for
Mt 28:19 where Christ tells to go forth to all nations baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
another favorite is when a priest ends mass and quotes 2 Cor 13:14 The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God and the communion/fellowship of the Holy Ghost be with yo all. 1 John 5:7, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Prugatory: check out 2 Cor 5:10, Heb 9:27 & 28 & 12:23, 1 Cor 3:15, Heb 12:29, 1 Pet 1:7, Mt 25:31-46 we will be judged after our death, we will be tested in fire. Where is God going to do this – in heaven? Once we are admitted into heaven – we’re in ; ) since we do not know God’s time as it is not our time, until we die, who truly, are we to say.

God Bless

PS -- I didn’t find minister, reverend or pastor either yet these are all terms used. There are many words in today language that you will not find in the Holy Scriptures. Silly referral – my name is there, is yours? Either way -- hat doesn’t mean it is wrong if it's not there.... Internet isn't there - but it's a way to preach the good news to millions.

Answer 5

Purgatory does not exist. It was first written about in fiction and adopted by the masses. The bible only has Heaven and Hell.

The trinity was started by the first Christans and adopted by the church. The separate entities of the trinity are mentioned in the New Testament. They are the Father(God) the Son(Jesus) and the Holy Spirt (the Fire that settled on the first apostles and inspired them to teach).

Why does it matter let the people that pratice this be.

Answer 6

Nothing about purgatory, that is a Catholic idea, but Trinity clearly taught,
Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit

Answer 7

Read Matthew 28:18-20.
John 14: 16-17,
2 Corinthians 13:14
The book of John refers to this topic of the Holy Trinity several times.
OLD TESTAMENT:
Isaiah 44:6-8
To me, purgatory is part of the Catholic faith. Because Jesus went to Hell and save our souls, many refer to this as purgatory, I suppose. I have not found purgatory in the Bible either.

Answer 8

Purgatory no. However the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are definitely in The Bible.

Answer 9

The "word" trinity is not in the Bible. That is an English word we use to describe what the Bible is talking about when It says 'Father Son and Holy Spirit'. This "trio" is found through Scripture.
Purgatory is not found in the Bible. Catholics claim they have Scriptural evidence for its existence. But, its is a catholic thing, no other denomination uses it.

Answer 10

John 1:1-28 In the begining was the Word and the Word was with God, and the word was God...... the Word is Jesus -the Gospel of John tells how God and Jesus are one Jesus is the visible image of God the Father. The Holy Spirit is the active life force of God.
Purgatory is a man made word...there is no mention of lingering in a space trying to be good so then you can earn your way to heaven. One sure ticket to heaven is read the Bible which is the word of God, and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior.
